Be Free For Me Blog

Good Gravy! It’s tough being gluten-free for the holidays. All the baking, the roasts, the turkeys, the fixings… it can leave a gluten-free gal like me wondering when holiday cooking and baking will get easier and more convenient.

Well wonder no more. Thankfully, Club House has recently come out with some gluten-free products to make our holidays… and our lives a heck of a lot easier. Thank you, Club House!

The gluten-free products that Club House has recently come out with are the Brown Gravy, the Turkey Gravy, Rice Flour, Potato Starch and Minute Tapioca. It’s also important to note that Club House, which is McCormick Canada – the largest spice, dry sauce, seasoning extract and specialty food operation in Canada – has become one of the growing number of companies that has become certified by the Gluten-Free Certification Program (GFCP) with the introduction of this line of gluten-free products (which will be available at grocery stores across North America).

I love the new gravy mixes. Why? They taste great, and they help me make my holidays meal prep a lot more simple. Gluten-free folks everywhere can now enjoy gravy on their Thanksgiving turkey or holiday roasts without all the fuss, mixing, whisking and lumps. These gravies also contain no artificial colors and flavors, and have 25% less sodium than the Club House original gravies.

The flours are awesome too. Want to try some chewy and fudgy Gluten-Free Brownies? Then grab a bag of Club House Potato Starch and get baking. How about making some Classic Gluten-Free Shortbread Cookies and packaging them up in a gift basket with an assortment of teas for a thoughtful, yet thrifty, gluten-free gift idea; or for a quick and easy dessert for a weekday (because desserts should not be reserved for special occasions only!) try making some Gluten-Free Tapioca Pudding with Club House’s Minute Tapioca.

The convenience of the Club House gluten free gravy mixes and the ease in baking-up gluten-free classic desserts are why I am so excited and thankful that this Win-It-Wednesday on BeFreeForMe.com is sponsored by Club House.

A total of FOUR (Yes… 4!) BeFreeForMe members will be selected to win a prize pack containing the Club House Gluten-Free Gravy Mixes (both the brown gravy and the gravy for Turkey), Minute Tapioca, Potato Starch and the Rice Flour. This prize pack is bursting at the gluten-free seams with holiday goodness!

Good luck, be mindful of and thankful for those little things… and as always…
Be Free!

Yummy, melt-in-your-mouth buttery goodness are some of the words that describe Amy’s new Gluten-Free Shortbread Cookies.

Shortbread Cookies have always, always been one of my favorites. The sweetness. The smooth and pure taste. Shortbread cookies are one of the things I have missed the most since going gluten-free.

That’s why I was so excited that Amy’s has come out with three new Gluten-Free Shortbread Cookies: Classic Shortbread, Almond and Chocolate Chip.

This week’s BeFreeForMe Friday Favorite is a simple and perfect cookie enjoyed all by it’s wonderful self or in your favorite recipe as an ingredient in a scrumptious pie crust.

Thank you Amy’s for duplicating that melt-in-your-mouth goodness… gluten-free! And congratulations for being this week’s Friday Favorite on BeFreeForMe.com.
